Impalila Island is situated at the confluence of the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers and is the meeting place of 4 countries: Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. There is a thin strip of land known as the Caprivi Strip that separates the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers.
The peaceful Chobe River divides Namibia and Botswana. It is famous for the large number of wildlife species that come to drink at the river’s edge. This is also the area where the Chobe National Park is situated. This is where you can expect to see Elephant, Hippo, Crocodile, Buffalo, Giraffe and many species of Antelope.
Before the Chobe in Botswana meets up with the Zambezi, the 2 rivers are connected by the Kasai Channel. Here the Ichobezi Luxury Safari Boat cruises past the tranquil swampland with its lush, green growth, magnificent scenery and countless bird spotting opportunities.
The Kasai Channel then opens up to the faster flowing Zambezi River, where you can find Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia. This is where the Ichobezi Luxury River Boat provides the best views for the awesome sunrises and sunsets.
Guests staying on the Ichobezi Luxury Safari Boat can be collected from the Kasane Immigration Office in Botswana along the banks of the Zambezi River for a short boat transfer across the river to the Namibian side of the Zambezi River.
You can also take a vehicle or light aircraft charter transfer from the town of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe to Kasane. The Ichobezi Luxury Safari Boat is based in Namibia and cruises right up the Zambezi to the Namibian town of Katima Mulilo for guest arrivals and transfers.
